Hi Florian  
I am facing an issue of MinimServer not being able to scan the TDAT frame in an ID3v2.3 tag without throwing an error message.  
I have described the issue in [this thread](https://forum.minimserver.com/showthread.php?tid=5738&pid=37283#pid37283).  
Florian, what is your view on this issue?  
Thanks a lot  
Rudi

I'm not @Florian, just want to add that the id3v2.3.0-[Specification](https://id3.org/id3v2.3.0) says:

> TDAT
> 
> The 'Date' frame is a numeric string in the **DDMM** format containing the date for the recording.  
> This field is always **four characters long**.

I suspect that the culprit regarding the date tag issue is sacd\_extract.exe and the data on the SACDs.  
My workflow is as follows:

- rip the sacd to iso using a Pioneer BDP-160 and sacd\_extract
- extract the dsf files from the iso again using sacd\_extract

I suspect the date filed is populated by sacd\_extract during this process, resulting in the errors reported by MinimServer. MP3Tag is probably not at fault here
